(MENAFN- UkrinForm) UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated that the pause in U.S. intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine "has not had a material effect" because it was only for a short period.

This is according to Sky News , Ukrinform reports.

Discussing the ceasefire proposal, Lammy said the UK was prepared to consider putting British troops on the ground, "but there must be a U.S. backstop."

"At stake is not only the future of Ukraine but the collective security of our continent and therefore Britain's direct national interest," he said.

Lammy stressed that Russia must "pay for the damage it is causing" in Ukraine, and there will be a discussion on "moving from freezing to seizing" Russian assets.
